Cast: Eddie Constantine, Geneviève Grad, Harold Nicholas

this movie is a clever spoof of every grade B detective movie of the "Guy Noir" type of of movie from the 30s 40s ,whenever. No cliche is left out including a chase scene on horseback. Sort of a pre "dead men don't wear plaid". Eddie Constantine keeps a straight face throughout, but the audience can't.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
